'Crawford' Criss-Crossing State, National, World
By Kimberley Jones, 2:10PM, Mon. Jun. 16, 2008
Ran into Austin filmmaker David Modigliani at Barton Springs yesterday, and he had nothing but good news to report. First, there was the June 4th Crawford, TX, premiere of Crawford, Modigliani's doc about W's effect when he set up house in the small Texas town. He deemed it a wildly successful night, netting about 400 attendees and giving him a chance to do some more filming for future DVD extras. (Go here to see Variety's photo essay from the night.)
But the good news doesn't stop there – during the Crawford screening, Modigliani received a text letting him know he'd just won the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Brooklyn International Film Festival. Modigliani flies out on Thursday for the Munich International Film Festival, something Crawford's residents get an especial kick out of, Modigliani told me – that the little pic about the tiny town is going global, baby.
